But the code you posted is not what the code in this package does. If all you need is the code that you posted, then you should absolutely use that.

> not what the code in this package does

Here's `is-number` (https://github.com/jonschlinkert/is-number/blob/master/index...):

    module.exports = function(num) {
      if (typeof num === 'number') {
        return num - num === 0;
      }
      if (typeof num === 'string' && num.trim() !== '') {
        return Number.isFinite ? Number.isFinite(+num) : isFinite(+num);
      }
      return false;
    };

Care to explain why these 5 lines of code need to be a package? To me, having something so simple be a package by itself is absurd.

Note that there’s a difference between “needs to be a package” and “needs to be used by everyone.” Nothing needs to be a package, because it’s always possible to copy paste code, regardless of how many lines it is.
